Surrounded by the generals, Mashburn walked off the court in despair and came to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Man, don't think too much."
"Remember, what happened just now was just your luck."
Mashburn nodded silently, feeling overwhelmed with emotion. Was it really just good luck? What kind of luck would make it this far?
"Ding, Jamal Mashburn's favorability has increased. The current favorability is 100 points."
"The host successfully defeated a player and was rewarded with 1 charm point. The current charm value is 11 points."
Lin Yu was confused, what was going on? Logically speaking, the favorability task can only be completed tomorrow. After all, the task requirement is to make tomorrow's news headlines.
As a result, Mashburn's favorability level jumped directly from 70 to 100 points!
Lin Yu found that the way Mashburn looked at him was extremely strange. It was no longer an ordinary favor or respect. It was completely a believer looking up to his own god. Maybe this was the reason why the favorability level soared to the full value.
"Forget it, why are you thinking so much? In short, just conquer Mashburn completely."
With Lin Yu Mashburn being perfectly captured, Lin Yu has currently captured five players, as well as Speedy and Jaylen Rose, whose favorability has reached 90 points, and he may be perfectly captured at any time.
During the team's family day, Lin Yu's favorability reached double digits, and the effect was extremely significant. Lin Yu always had a hunch that maybe if his favorability rose to a certain level, he would be surprised.
…
During the handshake session after the game, Lin Yu walked towards Sloan.
"Lin, I have to admit that this loss is the most frustrating in my nearly thirty years of coaching."
"I don't even know where I lost."
Sloan is much older than Lin Yu. He is fully qualified to call Lin Yu son or young man. However, he still calls Lin Yu by his last name to express his respect.
As he said, in his long career, he had never experienced such a frustrating loss, and the game was ended by three consecutive midfield three-pointers.
"We just got lucky, it seems like our Bullets have always had good luck."
Lin Yu scratched his head and smiled.
"Luck? Your Bullets have indeed always had good luck. Old Wes has been an old friend of mine for many years. He has always been associated with good luck in his life."
"But I think his greatest luck is that he chose you to be the Bullets coach."
"I even feel that the Bulls may not be your opponent now. Maybe we have a chance to meet in the finals this season."
Sloan looked at Lin Yu with admiration. Lin Yu's ability to adjust tactics on the spot tonight won Sloan's respect. Of course, except for the last four midfield three-pointers.
Lin Yu waved his hand quickly. Sloan's evaluation of the Bullets was a bit too much. Even if Lin Yu was full of confidence in the Bullets' current lineup, he would not be arrogant enough to kill the Bulls.
What is the concept of the second dynasty of the Bulls? The team has the first player in NBA history, the real recognized goat, the god of basketball, Jordan, who is perfect in both offense and defense, and he is the type that becomes more and more impressive at critical moments. The presence.
Pippen has to be, at least, one of the top five small forwards in history. There is no doubt about this. Even if he sits five and three, he can't find any major faults.
As for the Bulls Trident's halberd Dennis Rodman, he is also a real NBA 75 superstar, a seven-time rebounding champion and a two-time DPOY, and has countless best defensive lineups.
Rodman's defense is extremely strong. Unlike Ben, he can not only guard the inside, but also guard outside players like Webber.
But compared to defense, his rebounding is more dazzling.
He averaged 18.7 rebounds per game in a single season, including 6.4 offensive rebounds per game. This is not a figure that can be produced in modern basketball.
In his last season with the Spurs in the 1994-95 season, he even had a rebounding rate of 29.7%. This was a BUG among BUGs, an incurable bug.
Is Big Ben's rebounding strong? In his most peak season, his rebounding rate was only 23%.
At first glance, Rodman's average of 18.7 rebounds per game does not seem to be strong. After all, Chamberlain has averaged more than 25 rebounds per game in many seasons.
However, the calculation method of rebounds in ancient times was different. At that time, there could be 150 rebounds in a game. In modern basketball, there are almost 80 rebounds. Chamberlain's career rebound rate is 18%, which is roughly the same level as that of Big Ben. This does not count. There is a huge gap in the overall level of players between the two eras. Rodman is definitely far superior to Chamberlain in rebounding.
It can be said that Rodman is the first rebounder in NBA history, and no one can match him in rebounding skills.
It’s disappointing enough to have three giants like this. However, the Bulls also have many strong players, such as Europa magician Kukoc, Steve Kerr, who ranks first in three-point shooting percentage in history, and obviously... The swingman has switched to defensive star Ron Harper at the one position, and even Chief Parish is currently playing for the Bulls.
Even Luke Longley, the stupid big center who can be scolded by Jordan on the court, despite his inconspicuous statistics, his defensive efficiency is among the top ten centers in the league.
This is a monster team. Lin Yu will not say any big words about the Bulls before they actually play against each other.
After chatting with Sloan for a while, Lin Yu led the team back to the locker room.
Mashburn's facial expression was still numb, and he had not yet recovered from the shock.
"What is the situation of our Bullets this week? Jaylen scored 51 points and Rhodes scored 50 points. They won all four games, including powerful players like the Jazz."
"It's not even outrageous. I can accept it with gritted teeth. I really can't accept it tonight. Three consecutive midfield three-pointers?"
Weber's words made everyone in the locker room nod. They also wanted to know how Mashburn did it, or what he thought, because it is impossible for normal people to take four three-pointers in that position.
"Hey, Jamal, why don't you say something? You should explain to us."
"Otherwise I might have to ask a priest. You obviously sold your soul to Satan to hit those three three-pointers."
Jaylen Rose has also become superstitious since he asked God.
Mashburn came back to his senses, shrugged and then spread his hands and said: "Don't ask me, I don't know what happened."
"It just happened naturally on the court. Even when I took the last shot, I had a strong feeling that the shot was bound to hit."
"Forget it, we won anyway, didn't we?"
Everyone sighed speechlessly. This nonsense spoke the essence of the assistant coach Old Bob.
Lin Yu felt relieved at the side. He was really afraid that Mashburn would reveal himself and it would be difficult to explain at that time.
As Mashburn said, no matter what, after winning this game, the Bullets won eight consecutive victories and their record soared to fifth in the Eastern Conference, even just one win away from the fourth-placed Eagles in the Eastern Conference.
15 wins and 2 losses was Lin Yu's luxurious record after traveling through time. Even Lin Yu found it a bit unbelievable.
Now that the fourth consecutive away game is over, Lin Yu is preparing to return to Qingjun's side.
That's right, it's Qingjun's side. Of course, the pornographic rumor incident cannot end like this. Lin Yu's return to Washington this time will definitely make Ben Giles pay the price of gossiping.
Although Ben Giles fired Lin Yu, Lin Yu actually didn't resent him very much. After all, Lin Yu fell asleep in the meeting, which in itself was disrespectful. In order to establish his authority, Ben Giles It's understandable to blame Lin Yu's squid.
As for Lin Yu later saying that when he became the head coach, he would fire Giles because he walked into the office with his left foot. That was even more of a joke. The head coach has no such right.
However, with the current pornographic rumor incident, Giles is in doom. Even if Lin Yu wants to let him go, Unseld will never let him go.
The older these guys are, the more traditional they are, and the less they can accept LGBT things. If Unseld knew about it, he would probably want to kill Giles.
…
At the post-game press conference, Lin Yu simply didn't go and asked Lao Qiao to take Mashburn to attend.
After the press conference ended, the Bullets boarded a plane to Washington in the early morning.
At ten o'clock on Monday morning, Lin Yu came to Unseld's office.
"Good boy, four consecutive wins!"
"You even killed the Jazz. Even if we win the championship this year, I wouldn't be surprised at all."
Unseld felt like he was in a dream. A month ago, the Bullets had just experienced four consecutive losses. After Lin Yu took over, the Bullets directly posted a record of 15 wins and 2 losses.
"By the way, Zhu Wan can come back. Have you figured out how to arrange him?" Unseld suddenly frowned again.
The team has achieved such an incredible record, and facts have proven that the Bullets seem to be the same without Howard.
Unseld knew this was a fact, but he was unwilling to admit it. After all, Howard was the player he spent hundreds of millions of dollars to sign.
"It's difficult. If Jamal doesn't break out, I can put Chris back at the third position and let Juwan start at the fourth position."
"Jamal scored 37 points in the last game and hit three midfield three-pointers in a row. If you ask me to put him on the bench now, I can't do it."
Lin Yu frowned and sighed. It wasn't that he thought Uncle Huo was weak, but that he really didn't have a place in the Bullets' starting lineup.
Uncle Huo is strong, can he be stronger than Weber? What can be better than Mashiben?
After Mashburn's offensive end is unlocked, in terms of comprehensive offensive and defensive strength, he is one of the top three small forwards in the league. The only ones who can surpass him are the Bulls' Pippen and the Pistons' Hill.
"Damn, I'm so panicked now. You can't let the players I signed for 100 million US dollars come on the bench, right?"
"Why am I so unlucky? If I hadn't competed with Pat Riley at that time, I wouldn't be in such a difficult position now."
Unseld said with a sad face.
Lin Yu was dumbfounded, are you still unlucky? It is recognized throughout the league that fools are lucky, and they are extremely lucky.
"Think of a way, Lin, to put Zhu Wan in the starting lineup. Not only must he start, but he must also make his statistics look better."
"Otherwise, if we want to trade him next season, we won't be able to get rid of him. Do you understand what I mean?"
From Unseld's tone, it sounds like he is planning to sell Uncle Huo next season. If he wants to sell it at a good price, Uncle Huo's statistics must not be bad.
If a player with a contract worth 100 million yuan only averages about 10 points and 4 rebounds per game, no one will take over.
"Okay, I'll go talk to Jamal or Jaylen."
"There's something else I think I need to tell you."
Lin Yu told Unseld about the scandal that happened during the Mavericks' away game.
"Damn Ben Giles, I'm going to kill him!" Unseld's skin turned red because of his anger, and he slapped the table and roared.
"Mr. Unseld, we have no evidence to prove that Giles spread the rumor." Lin Yu shook his head.
"Evidence? Do you need evidence? Who else could it be if it wasn't him?"
"Come with me!"
Unseld didn't even want to wait for a second, and led Lin Yu straight to the scouts' office area.
Lin Yu followed behind and suddenly remembered that sentence. Once suspicion arises, the crime has been established. No matter whether Ben Giles is the source of the rumor or not, Unseld said he is, he is, and it doesn't matter if he is not.
